LITTLE OPHEE soaks up the sun in the window. This is just another trick so I can talk about the weather. It's beautiful out, sunny and almost all snow gone; very spring-like, 40°. Here's the thing: I'm just having an ATTACK to get out and garden! So many exciting things to do out there. Lots of work, which will be good for me now that I'm going to get skinny and strong in my older years. Sounds backwards, but you know what they say. Youth is wasted on the young, and now that I'm older, wiser, richer in spirit, etc etc. I want to DO many things, and see things. Make art, make the garden glorious.

he's baaaaack.

MR. GREAT HORNED OWL is out there tonight. I took Ophee out, and he's just intimidating enough to make me nervous. I'm fairly certain s/he wouldn't mess with Oph, but on the other hand, they are formidable and stealthy hunters with dangerous talons. I realized that tonight, as last time, there is a lot of white on the ground from last night's snowfall. They probably enjoy hunting against the snow, since it's so easy for them with their night vision. They probably see dinner walking around everywhere in the form of rodents, varmints and any other nocturnal creatures.

AS THE BEES SLEEP so am I. It's cold, and you can nearly feel it in these photos of the sun coming up. Once a California girl, always a California girl. But I love it here and I'm staying put.
So much to do indoors anyway.
